The lowest sales price was $500,000 and the highest sales price was $1,649,000. I am very active in this community and sold 50% or 5 of the sales in this community in 2008 including the 2 sales mentioned above. Clients often ask me “Where will the buyer for my house come from”? and although I don’t have a crystal ball, I do know where 50% of the buyers for this Golden Isles Waterfront community came from and even though this community is a small part of South Florida it is still a good representation of how international South Florida truly is.

Changes to Insurance Regulations Impact South Florida Condo Owners
The regulation (Fla. Stat. §718.111 (2008)), effective January 1, 2009, will require Florida condominium owners and their insurers to specifically name their condominium association as an additional named insured. In addition, the minimum amount of loss assessment coverage carriers must provide has been increased from $1,000 to $2,000.
Some of the major implications on South Florida condominium ownership include:
- Condominium associations may require each unit owner to provide evidence of a hazard and liability
insurance. - Effective January 1, 2009, unit owner policies must include loss assessment coverage of at least $2,000 per occurrence.
- Effective January 1, 2009, condominium associations must be listed as a loss payee (additional interest) on all unit owner policies issued. The actual wording includes reference to additional named insured and this wording is up for review in the next legislative session.
